Non-fasted blood work, including lipid panels, may be a viable alternative to fasted blood work, acknowledging that triglyceride levels will reflect non-fasted status.

“wow I'm always doing these fasted blood work because I want to get lipids and that's the standard is fasting lipids but I think in the future I might do more blood work non-fasting and just maybe even do lipids non-fasting and understand that the triglycerides will not be fasting but everything else will look a little differently testosterone obviously has this diurnal pattern its highest in the morning people are used to looking at testosterone that's like a 7 30 or an 8 AM testosterone”
